consider your expressions That God shall deal with you and your posterity as your Majestie desires the preservation of the just rights of Parliament which being undeniable in the trying of such as we have declared to be Delinquents we shall beleeve your Maiestie both towards your self and Parliament will not in this priviledge we are most sensible of denyus that which belongs unto the meanest Court of Iustice in this Kingdom neither hath Your Majestie cause to complaine that you are denyed a Treaty when we offer all that a Treaty can produce or Your Majestie expect Security Honour Service Obedience Support and all other effects of an humble loyall and faithfull subjection and seek nothing but that our Religion Libertie Peace of the Kigdome safety of the Parliament may be secured from the open violence and cunning practises of a wicked partee who have long ploted our ruine and destruction And if there were any cause of Treatie we know no competent persons to Treate between the King and the Parliament And if both cause and persons were such as to invite a Trteay the season is altogether unfit while Your Majesties Standard is up and your Proclamations and Declarations unrecalled whereby your Parliament is charged with Treason If Your Majestie shall persist to make your selfe a shield and defence to those instruments and shall continue to reject our faithfull and necessary advice for securing and maintaining Religion and Liberty with peace of the Kingdome and safety of the Parliament we doubt not but to indifferent judgements it will easily appear who is most tender of that innocent blood which is like to be spilt in this cause Your Majestie who by such persisting doth endenger Your selfe and your Kingdomes or we who are willing to hazard our selves to preserve both We humbly beseech Your Majestie to consider how impossible it is That any Protestation though published in your Majesties Name of your tendernesse of the miseries of your Protestant Subjects in Ireland of your resolution to maintain the Protestant Religion and Lawes of this Kingdome can give satisfaction to reasonable and indifferent men 〈…〉 time divers of the Irish Traitors and Rebells the known favourers of them and the Agents for them are admitted to Your Majesties presence with grace and favour and some of them imployed in your service when the Cloaths Munition Horses and other necessaries bought by your Parliament and sent for the supply of the Army against the Rebells there are violently taken away some by Your Majesties command others by your Ministers and applyed to the maintenance of an unnaturall War against your people here All this notwithstanding as we never gave Your Majestie any iust cause of withdrawing Your self from Your great Counsell so it hath ever been and shall ever be far from us to give any impediment to Your returne or to neglect any proper meanes of curing the distempers of the Kingdome and closing the dangerous breaches betweene Your Majestie and Your Parliament according to the great Trust which lyeth upon us And if Your Majestie shall now be pleased to come backe to Your Parliament without Your forces we shall be ready to secure Your Royall Person Your Crown and Dignitie with our lives and Fortunes Your presence in this Your great Counsell being the onely meanes of any Treaty betwixt Your Majestie and them with hope of successe And in none of our desires to Your Majestie shall we be swayed by any particular mans advantage but shall give a cleer Testimonie to Your Maistie and the whole world That in all thing done by us we faithfully intend the good of Your Majstie ●ct of Your Kingdoms And that we will not be diverted from this end by any private or selfe-respect whatsoever One thing more is much to be taken notice of which relisheth rather of Digbies spirit then of His Majesties Penning which is this The Declaration which is published in English saith thus This most holy Religion with the Hierarchy and Liturgie thereof we solemnly protest c. But in the Latin with the Plierarchy and Liturgie is left out so that indeed it speaks one thing to us and another thing to forraign Nations And whereas those of His Maiesties subiects are desired to uphold this Protestation when opportunity and time shall be offered I could wish that His Maiestie would be pleased to remember those many Covenants by which He is bound to return to His Parliament and seek the peace and safety of His people and not by protecting a few Popish Prelaticall Jesuiticall Incendiaries and Delinquents bring Himself His Posterity and Kingdom to ruine God Almighty be pleased to put it into the Kings heart to consider the bleeding condition of His poor people and cause Him to return to comply with His Parliament to the stopping of this great effusion of blood and the setling of the Church and Kingdom in peace and tranquilitie which God grant FINIS
